Had a snoop around the YouTube but can’t see anything as yet. I know, cheesy as fuck, but always a festive favourite !! TIA

I don’t think they have released it yet, if they have I haven’t seen anything and normally friends share on FB.

Antigon · 15/11/2018 06:07

It hasn't been released yet!

namechangedyetagain · 15/11/2018 06:23

Isn't it going to be shown at 9.15 on itv tonight? Details in newspapers....

EmeryisntthenewWenger · 15/11/2018 06:39

Here it is, unfortunately it’s not a very good ad!

Ooh..I quite liked it. I don’t even really like Elton all that much. Makes a change from cutesy kids and animals

ifeelsoextraordinary · 15/11/2018 06:47

Errr...can you even buy pianos at John Lewis?

Bunnybigears · 15/11/2018 06:50

Ooh I like it. Not as much as the long wait but definitely better then the man in the moon and the fox one!

PiggyPlumPie · 15/11/2018 06:52

Well I liked it!

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 15/11/2018 06:54

I absolutely hate it! There’s not been a JL Xmas ad that I’ve disliked tbh, I’m totally all for sickly sweet sentimental stuff and I always love seeing the new Xmas ad but this is absolutely dire.

LooksBetterWithAFilter · 15/11/2018 06:54

ifeel you can for Christmas at least. Pianos, keyboards, vintage tour t-shirts an EJ album in cd or record.

sausagepastapot · 15/11/2018 06:55

I love it!

Man in the moon actually had an important message though.

Hunlife · 15/11/2018 07:32

I like it but I really like Elton John’s music. The end made be a bit shiny eyed like all JL Christmas ads do

Jammydodger1981 · 15/11/2018 07:38

The man in the moon ad broke my heart, really upset me thinking of people feeling lonely like that. Been donating to Age UK ever since so did it’s job!

I liked this one too, made me feel really nostalgic for my childhood Christmasses, having a PC or a bike hidden under a paper tablecloth as it was too big to wrap.

chocolatecoveredraisons · 15/11/2018 07:42

@ifeelsoextraordinary yes you can, apparently they haven't had pianos out on shop floor since 1950s but they do now so it's meant to be nostalgic.
Well... that's what the article said Grin

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 15/11/2018 08:15

Man on the moon made me cry every time! I’ve just watched it on YouTube and turns out it still has the same effect!

I also loved the one where the little boy is so excited to give his family their gifts (gift giving is one of my joys in life!)

sluj · 15/11/2018 08:18

How grumpy does Elton look?? Didn't he like the present?
